Female Socialization: How Daughters Affect Their Legislator Fathers' Voting on Women's Issues
研究发现，在控制孩子总数的情况下，每位女儿会增加国会议员在女性议题（尤其是生育权）上投自由派票的倾向，揭示了子女对父母行为的影响。
Parenting daughters, sociologists have shown, increases feminist sympathies. I test the hypothesis that children, much like neighbors or peers, can influence parental behavior. I demonstrate that conditional on total number of children, each daughter increases a congressperson's propensity to vote liberally, particularly on reproductive rights issues. The results identify an important (and previously omitted) explanatory variable in the literature on congressional decision making. Additionally the paper highlights the relevance of child-to-parent behavioral influence.
